High-intensity Exercise Reduces Liver Inflammation, Slows Progression of Steatohepatitis

Researchers from the University of Minnesota found that HIIT reduced the progression of fatty liver disease. They also found that HIIT was superior to moderate-intensity exercise at improving metabolism and reducing inflammation and damage. Researchers believe this study could help improve health by providing a rationale for choosing HIIT over other exercise regimens to reverse liver disease.

The research will be presented virtually at the American Physiological Society (APS) Integrative Physiology of Exercise (IPE) conference. Request the Abstract: “Exercise of a high intensity ameliorates hepatic inflammation and the progression of steatohepatitis”
